Hello, I'm Vanessa

I once had someone tell me they did not like my purple hair, said it was for the birds. My nickname is Birdie. Sometimes, The Bird. I am a Christ-follower, wife, mother, grandmother, business owner, city slicker, purple lover, and health nut. Learn more about me.

Read My Blog

I blog about healthy living; from food freedom to financial freedom and everything in between. My hope is to inspire you to live healthy, love intently, and lead purposefully. Oh yeah, and to have a little (or a lot of) fun along the way! Read my blog.

Let's Be Friends

Facebook is my jam. It's where I connect with family, friends, and followers. And while I may not be a millennial, I can Instagram with the best of them. I love sharing my daily life, healthy lifestyle tips, favorite finds, and fun shenanigans via Instastories.

Amazon Affiliate

In January 2019, I took Adsense ads off Healthy Living How To. The biggest reason being it provides for a more pleasant reader experience. If you find value in our content and would like to support Healthy Living How To, you can do so by using our affiliate link when shopping Amazon.
